Ha!
In Texas, they just named this upcoming week “Lebron James Week”...everybody gets to take off work 12 minutes early. :o)
Cavs fans are happy for Cuban tonight. Not just the obvious LBJ angle, but Cuban was the only OWNER who came out right away and said what LBJ did was humiliating to Cleveland, Cavs fans, and the league.

Cleveland fans have a very long memory. Just ask Art Modell.
Haven’t the Lakers won 9 in that period?
As one commentator said...
Here’s the lesson to be learned from this series: In Basketball, TEAMS WIN !
Even the older ones, as long as they’re based on trust, selflessness and mutuality.
And, by implication, individuals — no matter how talented — do not win.
Don’t say it: We’ve heard this over and over since the Dr. Jack Trail Blazers stunned the Dr. J Sixers in 1977, but sometimes it’s a lesson that bears repeating, especially on occasions such as this one.
Dallas, unlike Miami (which has 3 of the best players in the NBA) is not about individual ability, it’s about collective will, collective guts.
Dirk Nowitzki, the MVP of the series was 5-for-22 midway through the fourth period, while Kidd didn’t really put his imprint on the game until midway through the third. Yet the two future Hall of Famers did not have to be brilliant. For much of the night, the Mavs were dragged along to their first title by the likes of Jason Terry, Shawn Marion and J.J. Barea and Brian Cardinal and Ian Mahinmi.
Miami might have the superstarts, but in the end it was still the TEAM EFFORT that gets you through. The Dallas Mavericks have proven this again.
I loved a joke going around about Jester James...
“Don’t ask James for change for $1 - he only has 3 quarters to give you.”
They just announced that Mark Cuban, and not the City will pay for the Victory Parade.....so there’s another plus for Cuban.
LeBron isn’t even the best player on his own team.
Dallas has put the Heat on ICE!!!
RE: I asked him for change for a dollar. He gave me 3 then said “Sorry kid..I don’t have a fourth quarter”
_______________________________________________________________________________
He gave you 3 what ? Dollars or Quarters?
If he gave you 3 dollars, he’s generous, if he gave you 3 quarters he’s a lowly jerk.
If my research is correct Dirk is the first non-African American player to win MVP in 25 years, that being Larry Bird in 1986.
I am sure you have heard the comparisons over the last few weeks. For many this was going to the first of MANY rings for LBJ. It was beyond sickening.
The media has tried very hard to preserve their narrative of LBJ being one of, if not THE, best player ever. It reminds me of their slobbering love affair with Obama.
Oh yeah, I forgot that:)
ICING! Another reason to smile with delight.
A lot of the NBA’s best are foriegn nationals who play for their home teams for international competititon. So the NBA is playing against itself in many of those games.
According to Wiki he’s a Randian Libertarian. He also started something called the ‘Fallen Patriot Fund’ to help families of U.S. military persons killed or injured during the Iraq War, personally matching the first $1 million in contributions with funds from the Mark Cuban Foundation.
A homeless man asked Lebron James for $1 in change.
Lebron gave him $.75.
When the man asked him where is the rest, Lebron said "I don't have a 4th quarter".
Le Bron James is walking down the street and a bum asks him for a dollar. Le Bron hands him 75 cents and the bum asks why? Le Bron says, “Cause I don’t have fourth quarter.”
HAAA!!! Well, Macy’s paid for the ad in advance, so there it goes! I’ll bet they sell some of that stuff, anyway. HA!
